Khan's speed was too much for him. The way that fight was going McCloskey was looking at a lost by decision if he didn't get that cut.

I picked that was always going to be the problem for McCloskey.

Someone commented earlier about the way Paul adapted to Khan with his hands down, but if you watch some of his other fights he often relies on slipping punches like that. Amir's speed was always gonna give him nightmares.
